From 1999 thru 2004, I was in steady "work on me" mode. I'd been introduced to personal development and, even though I'd gone in at the beginning kicking and screaming, I eventually figured out which parts I enjoyed and "bought into", which authors and speakers could explain the stuff to me in a language I could understand, and which areas I either wasn't ready for or thought was for those "fluff-i-nutter" types.

I didn't get my post up like I'd planned yesterday. In fact, I don't think I got ANYTHING done that I'd planned yesterday! And it's not like something happened that I had to take care of instead. It was me... just me. I got in my own way.

Oh my gosh! I swear I have no clue how people who procrastinate ever get ANYTHING in their lives in order!! I've spent years giving my son ideas of how to work within his "procrastination" boundaries. I'd like to say it's for his benefit but honestly, it's for MY sanity!

I was searching for some information on my computer this week and ran across an email I'd gotten back when I was with my previous company. As a top earner in the company, people were regularly emailing for assistance and asking lots of questions at events. That was always one of my favorite things...

Last week I was frustrated about getting to the end of my day without having completed the tasks I'd set out to do in the morning. It was time to start asking myself some questions. Since there wasn't anyone around, I knew it was something I was doing that wasn't working and not some outside distractions.

My friends and family call it being stubborn. The personal development people call it persistence. I don't care what it's called... it gets the job done for me every time! I've spent the past week and a half working on getting my website updated, my shopping cart in place and my affiliate program set up.

Without going into a ton of info, I got ticked off today because my sweetheart seems to have lost his will to fight. Don't get me wrong. He's one of those guys who does everything he can to avoid conflict.
